The Artists
Bridget von Briel — The Map Key
The Map KeyBridget von Briel is probably better known to her Frederick county neighbors by her married name and to her four children as "Mommy". For the past 15 years this stay at home mom's artistic endeavors have consisted of cultivating and hanging her children's artwork on the refrigerator and assisting in creating drawings on the family driveway. A resident of Green Valley since 1998, she is excited to be reentering the workforce and art scene. Ms. von Briel holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Pennsylvania State University, attended graduate school at Boston University, and was honored to participate in foreign exchange programs to the University of Manchester, England, and Our Lady of Mercy College in Australia. Bridget's most recent artistic accomplishment was to be selected as the artist for the 2007 Maryland State Easter Egg for the White House Easter Egg Display in Washington, D.C.
